There are thirty-six border gates in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and only three border with the Demon Realm: Yongzhou, Jinmo, and Jianhai.
Jinmo and Jianhai are closer to the southeast, facing Longshi and Leopard Tu of the Demon Realm Tiancan Sect respectively. And Yongzhou is closer to the northwest, opposite Feixue City of the Demon Realm Defying Heaven Alliance; they are connected by
A white mountain.
Baishan has snow all year round. There is a valley on the west side with a wide snow peach forest, which is the Snow Peach Valley. On the east side, there is a barren flat land, but there are many hot springs, large and small. If viewed from the air, it looks like a
There are many strange pine trees and the hot air is lingering there, so this area is called Pine Smoke Spring.
Tonight, the moon is full during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but people are coming to the Pine Smoke Spring one after another. Wu Xu secretly observed that they each changed their breath and appearance. When they got here, they took out a talisman and quietly entered the hot springs. Then they disappeared. Obviously, the Songyan Spring was full of people.
There is something ingenious underneath the smoke spring.
Wuxu thought for a moment, took out the Blood Spirit Knife, and flew towards a hot spring. The worst he could do was soak in a hot spring. But, as expected, the Blood Spirit Knife was also effective. The hot hot spring automatically separated, revealing a hot spring.
The entrance of the cave. After flying into the entrance of the cave, I flew down for several hundred meters in the darkness before I stepped onto the ground. Then I saw a faint light in front of me. When I walked over, I saw a bright cave.
There were already more than ten people sitting in the cave. When they saw the Blood Spirit Sword floating in front of Wuxu, they all nodded towards Wuxu.
One of them said even more diligently, "Master, please take a seat quickly."
Wuxu nodded slightly toward this man, feeling something in his heart, and sat directly on the stone seat in the middle, but he didn't know how to start.
Fortunately, soon, this person asked, "May I ask, Pavilion Master, if there is still a passage to Netherworld Star? If I want to exchange six middle-grade spiritual stones for two places."
As soon as he finished speaking, another person next to him laughed, "I am willing to give you eight middle-grade spiritual stones in exchange for two places to go to Netherworld Star."
A cold snort sounded, and the atmosphere in the cave was a little tense.
Wuxu listened silently. On the way here, he had been infusing the Blood Spirit Sword with his spiritual consciousness, and he had already obtained a lot of information from it. Qian Dan had also done this before from Xuanyin Star to Netherworld Star. But now
, where can I do it?
Wuxu shook his head, "The wind is very tight right now, we will talk about this later."
These two people seemed to have expected it, but they still showed a hint of disappointment.
Later, someone else approached Wuxu, a counterfeit, to make deals. These were the first things Wuxu had heard of, and they were worth a lot of money.
But Wuxu was not Qian Dan, and it was impossible for Qian Dan to leave these things in the Blood Spirit Sword. Therefore, Wuxu could only shake his head repeatedly.
This time, the atmosphere became even more solemn. Everyone looked at Wuxu, and some of them even had a hint of suspicion and dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Wuxu saw this and secretly thought in his heart, should he make a robbery? Kill all these people in one pot? But those who can do these transactions are at least monks close to the true spirit level. If there are only one or two, Wuxu will be fierce
You can still try to sacrifice the Dharma Realm from the ground. At this moment, there are more than ten people in the cave under the Pine Smoke Spring, but Wuxu has no confidence.
"In that case, I'll take my leave!" Someone suddenly stood up.
"What are you anxious about, fellow Taoist?!" Wu Xu said with a faint smile, "Since I'm here, I will naturally have the things you need to trade in this black market."
"But I don't know. Please let the master of the pavilion make it clear." The man then slowly sat down.
Wuxu glanced at him. This man just wanted to trade several reincarnation pills with him. Wuxu recalled the information he got from the Blood Spirit Sword and looked around, "Although I don't have reincarnation pills, I can tell you that right now
In the transaction between Nether Star and Xuanyin Star, the price of the Reincarnation Pill."
"What's the use of this!?" The man flicked his sleeves and paused mid-sentence, his eyes flashing.
Wuxu smiled and said, "The Reincarnation Pill is unique to Netherworld Star. Fellow Taoist should have other channels to obtain Reincarnation Pill. If you know the price at which Netherworld Star is sold to Xuanyin Star, it would be great.
Negotiated the price."
Those who are willing to spend money to buy the Nether Star and sell it at the same price as the Xuanyin Star Reincarnation Pill must have great strength. Otherwise, they are like small retail investors who buy one or two pills and have no other way. They will be at a loss if they know about it.
This is just like the current price of pork is soaring. Even if the average small retail investor knows that the price of pork exported to China from the United States is 4-5 yuan per pound, he is still confused. You still have to go to the nearby supermarket and buy it at the price?
Wuxu is like this, firstly to test, and secondly to stimulate. According to the information Wuxu got from the Blood Spirit Sword, the monks who participate in such a black market all have a lot of power behind them. Even if it is not like Xu Chuanshan, it is Xu Chuanshan from the capital.
However, even lower-level forces can at least avoid some risks or costs, or resell this news to other forces.
That man's face was gloomy and uncertain, okay
After a while, he said to Wuxu, "Duobao Pavilion is getting better and better at doing business. But I don't know how Duobao Pavilion charges for such news?"
Others also looked at Wuxu. The monk's head was like aura, maybe because of his strong spiritual consciousness. They seemed to understand the key points in an instant.
Wuxu nodded secretly, "Since you all are sensible people, I will give you a fair price. For this kind of news, you need nine middle-grade spiritual stones."
There was silence in the cave. After a while, someone got up and left. In the end, only two people were left.
The two men, the monk being the tallest, had not spoken before.
One person said leisurely, "Nine middle-grade spiritual stones are not many. But if you buy news just once, the master of the pavilion will have a big mouth, right?"
Wu Xu smiled and said, "Those who haven't left are all VIP customers of Duobao Pavilion."
VIP is the term used by Wuxu in his previous life. However, the two people who stayed behind did not ask further questions. They just regarded it as a term used by Netherworld Star, or they did not bother about this term at all, and only valued the connotation and essence.
Wuxu recalled it, pondered for a while, and then said, "Two fellow Taoists, one wants the Netherworld Flower and the other wants the Bodhi Fruit. I then told Xuanyin Star and Netherworld Star the transaction prices of these two spiritual resources.
, provided to two people, the time limit is one year, and the fee is still only nine middle-grade spiritual stones. However, the two of them must pay five medium-grade spiritual stones first."
The two people thought about it for a while and agreed. They were obviously prepared for it. They raised their sleeves and saw two jade boxes, one on the left and one on the right, slowly flying towards Wuxu.
Wuxu was secretly happy in his heart and was about to reach out to take it when he suddenly remembered what Qian Dan had told him at that time. According to the instructions, he visualized a pattern with his spiritual consciousness and moved towards the Blood Spirit Sword Seal. Sure enough,
The Blood Spirit Sword instantly shot out a blood-red light, covering the two jade boxes.
When the two people on the other side saw this situation, they gave up completely and waited for Wuxu to give the news.
The two jade boxes, in the red light, rotated slightly and opened automatically. The shining spiritual stones, exuding extremely pure spiritual energy, were taken away by the Blood Spirit Knife.
"Harvest ten middle-grade spiritual stones." This blood spirit sword immediately returned a message to Wuxu,
Unexpectedly, this Blood Spirit Knife has the effect of automatically identifying spiritual resources. It is really a treasure. Wuxu thought as he used his spiritual consciousness to inquire about the Nether Flower and Bodhi Fruit from the Blood Spirit Knife. After a moment, the Blood Spirit Knife
A piece of information was returned, which not only listed the prices of Netherworld Flowers and Bodhi Fruits on Xuanyin Star, but also listed the prices of the latest transactions between Netherworld Star and Xuanyin Star. Finally, it also listed the black market prices on Xuanyin Star.
price.
Is this real-time data statistical analysis? Cloud services, big data?
Wu Xu was stunned for a moment, and then told the two opposite parties about the latest transaction prices of Nether Flower and Bodhi Fruit between Netherworld Star and Xuanyin Star respectively.
...
After coming out of Songyan Spring, Wuxu was in an extremely happy mood. Unexpectedly, he got ten middle-grade spiritual stones with such ease. Now, the Heaven's Eye Formation can be built, and then the tax on spiritual resource transactions can be levied. In this way,
Funds for the construction of the monastery have generally been secured.
Suddenly, Wu Xu felt a warning sign in his heart. He stopped and looked around. He saw many extremely fine light blue light spots suddenly floating around. What was even more strange was that these black light spots could not be detected at all with his spiritual consciousness.
, and it seems to have the effect of blocking spiritual consciousness. Fortunately, the moon is full tonight, otherwise it would be difficult to detect Wuxujuan.
Was this an ambush?
Wuxu held the Blood Spirit Knife in one hand and asked in a cold voice, "Business is not about human nature. Which fellow Taoist is so shameless and shameless?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw those light spots bursting out with dazzling blue light without making any sound, shooting towards Wuxu from all directions, blocking all possibilities of dodge. Wuxu hurriedly escaped without even thinking about it.
Dharma Realm.
The blue light points gathered at the position in front of Wuxu, forming a huge light group, and then exploded with a bang.
The three figures slowly emerged, and the finished glyphs were each released with their spiritual consciousness, and they were scanned carefully and sharply.
Wuxu secretly observed in the Dharma Realm. The appearance of these three people could not be clearly seen, and their auras seemed to have changed. However, Wuxu could conclude that these three people were all black market participants in the cave under Songyan Spring.
Suddenly, a powerful spiritual consciousness hit Wuxu's Dharma Realm fiercely. It turned out that someone's spiritual consciousness was very powerful, and he noticed the subtle changes caused by Wuxu's observation outside the Dharma Realm.
The other two figures immediately flew up, and at the same time they each launched a flying sword, slashing fiercely. One of them had a thunder on the tip of the sword, and it flew down like thunder from the sky; the other one had a sword light.
It seems ordinary, but it creates a bloody atmosphere, which seems to have the effect of corroding spiritual energy. This good and evil is obviously carefully planned.
.No matter whether Wuxu’s technique is good or evil, he must deal with at least one side.
The most powerful killer was probably the person who noticed the Wuxu Dharma Realm. He stood there with his eyes closed, using his hands to conjure magic spells, and a third eye actually appeared on his forehead, and the strange light in it gradually became brighter.
This person should be good at magical powers in terms of spiritual consciousness. If his third eye is fully opened, I am afraid that his Dharma Realm will be invisible! Wuxu hurriedly used the Dharma Realm and rushed towards this person.
At this time, the attack of the flying swords of one good and one evil had already come down, and many sword rays penetrated Wuxu's Dharma Realm. In the Dharma Realm, Wuxu hurriedly took out the Purple Sun Sword and shouted loudly, "Fellow Daoist Li, come out to fight quickly.
"
"Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique, Blood Erosion Sword Technique?" Li Mingshan said in shock, "Master Wuxu, why did you offend the Dao Sect and the Heaven Defying Alliance?"
Daomen and the Anti-Tian Alliance? But Wuxu had no time to think about it now, and he had no time to explain. He just said, "You have to block these two people first!" Then he took out the Nebula Sword and flew out of the Dharma Realm, heading straight towards
Kill the three-eyed monk.
The monk who was opening his three eyes did not expect that Wuxu could "teleport" to him. He immediately retreated quickly. The flying swords of the other two people also followed up, vowing to trap and kill Wuxu.
The enemy in front cannot catch up, but the enemy behind will catch up quickly. Within a few seconds, you will be attacked from both sides!
"Let me out quickly!" At this time, Li Mingshan sent a message to Wuxu through the Dharma Realm. At this time, she had already neutralized the sword light that invaded Wuxu's Dharma Realm.
Wuxu hurriedly took it out of the Dharma Realm.
Then they saw that the Ziyang Sword instantly appeared behind the person who was performing the so-called Blood Erosion Sword Technique, and penetrated his body. With a flash of purple light, the person turned into ashes, and even his spiritual body did not escape.
When the three-eyed monk saw this, he immediately changed the magic formula of his hands, and a ray of light shot out from the third eye on his forehead. Although Wuxu was prepared, he was blocked for a moment. He only felt a stinging pain in his consciousness, and his physical eyes
All he saw was a white light. When he recovered, the three-eyed monk had disappeared.
At the same time, the monk who used the Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique made a move with the Ziyang Sword that was flying towards him, and retreated. Then he used a spiritual talisman and disappeared.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you seem to know these three people?" Wuxu's face was livid, and he was still a little scared. If he didn't have the Dharma Realm, which allowed him to teleport over short distances, and Li Mingshan was there to help him, he might have had to shed his skin this time even if he didn't die.
Li Mingshan, in the Purple Sun Sword, replied, "The Sky Thunder Sword Technique and the Blood Erosion Sword Technique are unique skills of the Dao Sect and the Heaven Defying Alliance, but there are many people who know them. As for the monk with the open eyes on his forehead, I can't recognize him.
.”
Wuxu thought for a while, "If we narrow the scope to Yongzhou City and its surroundings, do fellow Taoists have any clues?"
Li Mingshan seemed to have expected that Wuxu would ask this question, "The heads of the five aristocratic families in Yongzhou City, the city lord of Feixue City of the Defying Heaven Alliance, and the city lord of Longshi City of the Tiancan Sect. Of course, it is not certain. I just attacked and killed them unexpectedly.
After the monk who used the Blood Erosion Sword Technique, he exchanged a move with the person who used the Sky Thunder Sword Technique, and vaguely felt that he was holding back in order to hide his identity. Therefore, the heads of the five aristocratic families in Yongzhou City, as well as the city lord of Feixue City,
The lord of Longshi City is possible, but not certain."
Wuxu snorted coldly, "The three-eye technique is extremely difficult to imitate. He gave me the impression that he must be a member of the Tiancan Sect. The young monk had just attacked him. Although his eyes were closed, he looked
It turned out that he was actually blind."
Li Mingshan was silent for a moment and replied, "It shouldn't be him. The three-eye technique is also found in Buddhism and the demonic realm."
Wuxu was secretly suspicious, but didn't want to ask more questions for a while. After thinking for a while, he said, "Thank you very much, Taoist friend Li, for your help. The young monk had no repayment, so he had to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha and give Taoist friend a medium-grade spiritual stone. In addition, starting from today,
, Taoist friends can enter and exit the small Dharma world of the little monk at their own discretion."
After saying that, he activated the blood spirit knife with his consciousness and sent out a middle grade spirit stone.
Li Mingshan said thank you. The Ziyang Sword flashed and flew into the Wuxu Dharma Realm with this middle-grade spiritual stone.
Wuxu also returned to the Dharma Realm and walked in hiding. When he arrived at Yongzhou City, he showed up and entered. Finally, he returned to the city lord's palace and sat in meditation in the secret room. He repaired all the many loopholes in the Dharma Realm that had been penetrated.
In this way, a few days passed. After coming out of the secret room, several messages came.
Wuxu takes a closer look:
Xu Chuanshan reported that someone from the newly established Trade and Yi Department of the imperial court came to supervise and guide Yongzhou City's border trade matters; in addition, someone from the Tianxing Court also came to inspect Yongzhou.
Zhu Yuanzhang left a message to himself, saying that he had received the recall order and would be leaving soon.
There is also news from Zhang Cuilu and others, saying that the inspections in the city are full of resistance and shady.
The only good news is that most ordinary people have been properly resettled in Snow Peach Valley.
